A new statue for Braves legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron is being created for SunTrust Park in Cobb County, the organization has announced on two of its social media pages.
The Braves revealed on their Twitter and Facebook pages that Atlanta-based artist Ross Rossin will create the new statue of the baseball legend, who finished his career as the all-time home run leader with 755.
The team was locked in a battle with the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority over the current statue of Aaron at Turner Field, deciding earlier this year to 'no longer contest' the location of the statue, which will remain in downtown Atlanta.
